INSTRUMENTATION AND MEASUREMENT
BACKGROUND
Limitations of Traditional Colour Detection Methods
Often time-consuming, labor-intensive and prone to
errors due to manual intervention or specialized
equipment.
Smart & Connected Systems
Enables the development of smart homes and other
connected systems that can adjust lighting,
temperature and other devices based on colour
detection.
INTRODUCTION
This project combines IoT technology and colour
sensing to create a system that detects and identifies
colour.
To develop a device that accurately senses colour in
the environment.
Its algorithm may analyzes the data and identifies the
specific colour based on predefined approaches.
OBJECTIVE
To create a working IoT device that can detect and
identify colours accurately in real-time.
To improve programming skills by working with
Arduino board and others.
